Some (possibly even most) VCRs also only accept composite video. There is no reason why they would ever want to see an R, G or B signal (and, in answer to Andrew's point about the S-video connection, I believe the only difference is that with composite video the chroma is modulated on to a carrier and mixed in with the luma whereas with S-video you get the two along separate wires). imc
